Question

afrrican countries were completely controlled by europe for 77 years and did not gain their independence until 1957 present .how doi you think new african nations would struggle with independence?

Answer 1

Deep divisions between ethnic and religious groups remained when European rulers disappeared from their former colonies. Economic life was hampered by concessions made to the departing colonizers and by an international economy that favored industrialized nations. They lacked technological and management expertise, and had to face steady population growth and environmental degradation. Social unrest occurred due to corruption, and breakdowns in traditional culture.
